Generously illustrated with full-color images of sacred art, architecture, symbols, landscapes, ceremonies and festivals, Eastern Wisdom is a uniquely accessible and penetrating guide to the fascinating body of religious and philosophical thought that originated in the East. Written by renowned experts in their fields, this book will enlighten all those who wish to understand the transcendent worldviews expressed in these compelling systems of belief.
I can't imagine why this book got a low rating from most (of its few) reviewers. I found it an illuminating and insightful beginner's guide to the different religions and philosophies of Asia, and a great starting point for further, more in-depth reading.
